what is this

[dollhobbs]

When starting a trainer I got this, can anyone tell me what it is "C:\Windows\system32\H@KeysH@@k.DLL".

The only thing I found while Googling it were pages in other languages... I'd strongly suspect it may be a virus / trogan. I'd start with a full virus scan and see what happens. I'd also do a chkdsk and make sure you don't have any HD problems.

TwoRails is right about needing to scan your machine. It's a keylogger.

That page lists several programs that are supposed to fix it (none of which I've even heard of BTW)....but I'd still try scanning with either Spybot, AdAware, or the AVG AntiSpyware programs.

Nice find juppy. Ya, I've never heard of those tools either.

I just did a search on my PC and found it in system32 and deleted it. Don't know if it will stay gone will check in a few hours and see.

I checked system32 again and it hasn't appeared again so I don't know where it came from.

Had you installed anything new just prior to this starting? Not necessarily a "bad" program either, just anything.....because that page I linked to above said it was "Commercial Monitoring Software", so it could have been included with some program you thought might be okay too.

The only thing I can think of is the new Kane and Lynch dead men game.

Well, after Googling some more, I don't find any other complaints saying that Kane and Lynch has anything like that in it. It's hard telling where it came from really. As long as it's gone and not affecting your system, it doesn't really matter where it came from anyway, I guess. At least if it comes back again, now you know how to get rid of it. :)
